Crack Smoking In The Star-Telegram Sports Newsroom

One should not ask football coaches in second tier schools in Conference USA about anything that matters, because shite like this from Rick Minter of Cincinnati is often the result:

“Can TCU go undefeated?” Minter asked. “I don’t know, but I’ll tell you one thing. They look a lot like Ohio State. Probably not as deep, but they’ve got that kind of a team. And it’s obvious from last season that they know how to win. It wouldn’t shock me if they went 12-0.”

They look nothing like Ohio State, and it will certainly shock me if they go 12-0 despite that pansy-ass schedule. In fact, look for the undefeated talk to end with the roadtrip to South Florida. Jim Leavitt is underrated as a coach, and his program is also underrated. I don’t think he will lose to TCU at home.

Anyway, I know the DFW area is woefully underrepresented when it comes to major college sports, but this sort of cheerleading is just silly. If TCU has another 10-2 season, it will be a success. I wouldn’t expect much beyond that.
